Every investor looks at a variety of places.

If anyone has tips and tricks for finding private investors please share them with me. thanks! 

I'm not a paid mentor/coach, but I've been a lender for 34 years, an investor for 20, and I formerly lived in STL.

The benefits of meeting other investors are well worth it.

You're stacking risk factors - new investor, foreclosure auctions, flips, relying on info from propstream as if it is accurate, asking a lot of questions that present a real "you don't know what you don't know" risk. 

If you’re a wholesaler or investor looking to close more deals, here’s how to use probate leads to your advantage: Build Genuine Relationships with Executors & Heirs Probate is a tough, emotional time for families.

Connecting with other investors helps a lot.

Hey BiggerPockets community,One thing I always like to ask other investors is: have you ever had a contractor or sub walk off mid-project, and how did you handle it?

I'd suggest leveraging those connections not just for your projects, but also to connect with other investors in your market.My recommendation, based on what successful investors do is to pick one lane (flips, rentals, development, etc.) and focus on it first.

At that point the investor reconsidered their contract with me.
